I don't think it is a lie I think it is poor wording.

He mentions it is aimed at dev teams to easily allocate resources. I think the packages are you pay for a certain amount of RAM (i.e. 1GB, 12 GB, 100 GB, etc) and you can divide that on to an unlimited number of servers.

So lets say I have a team of 6 people and I buy the 12 GB I can create 12 1GB servers, or I can create 6 2GB servers, or I can create 4 2GB servers and 3 1GB servers.

If I have a team of 10 and I buy the "customize anyway plan" I could have instances that were 1GB, some that were 4GB and others that were 2GB.

You buy the resources but can divvy it up into other instances that make sense for your team (at least that is what I gather).




Nope. I signed up (there's $9 I'm not seeing again) and you can only make 1GB servers. After you make two on the "Personal" plan, you get a message that you can't create any more:

    Stop right there!

    You have created all of the servers your Personal tier
    allows you to create. If you would like to upgrade your
    plan, please create a support ticket under the Billing
    section or send an e-mail anytime you're ready to
    business@ramgrid.com.


But if there is a minimum of 1GB RAM per server, and the plan allows for up to 2GB total, then you can literally only create two 1GB servers. I'm not sure how a limit of two equates to unlimited. I was really confused by that on the pricing page.
